The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from Wisconsin universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the Wisconsin onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to University of Wisconsin partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of University of Wisconsin’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.

Contact ben.murphy@onair.cc for more information on how to involve your organization.

Students onAir @UWM is where UWM students can come together to strengthen our democracy.

Students onAir @UWM is led by Anna Jonckheer  in collaboration with various politically and civically active clubs and university civic engagement programs. Students onAir @ECU is the lead student group overseeing the Wisconsin onAir governance and election Hub.

Students onAir @UWM is open to allU WM undergrad and graduate students. Students can participate in interview aircasts this fall with candidates and representatives by applying here on the US onAir national Hub.  Students can also become onAir members by going to this post.

For more information on Students onAir @UWM, contact: anna.jonckheer@onair.cc.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in Political Science. My special interests include comparative politics, democratization, international relations, and political sociology.

I am the Team Leader for Wisconsin onAir. My major focus is recruiting and onboarding Wisconsin students and chapter managers, especially to be participants in upcoming aircasts with candidates.

My reason for being Team Leader is to promote democracy in Wisconsin, particularly for students and young people.
